Whitney Houston - You Give Good Love Lyrics

Whitney Houston Lyrics

"You Give Good Love"

I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone

Now you're here, like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see that you give good love to me
Baby, so good
Take this heart of mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby, you give good love

Never stopping
I was always searching for that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

Now you're here, like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see that you give good love to me
Baby, so good
Take this heart of mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby, you give good love

Now I, I can't stop looking around
It's not what this love's all about
Our love is here to stay, stay

Now you're here, like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see that you give good love to me
Baby, so good
Take this heart of mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby, you give good love

Writer(s): La Forrest Cope

The lead single from her debut album.

The song was originally offered to Roberta Flack, but then La La, the writer, thought it would fit better for Whitney Houston.

La La performed this song live for Whitney Houston and her producer Kashif. She recalled to Billboard magazine, "Before I ended the song, she picked up on the lyrics and was singing it along with me."

This track was an unexpected crossover pop hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song has been certified "Gold" by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The music video shows Whitney Houston, who sings in a bar, and an off-duty cameraman, who just happened to be nearby and liked her performance.

"You Give Good Love" won "Favorite Soul/R&B Single" at The 13th American Music Awards.
